Thanks JPK, your loads are consistent with the picture I have been patching together. Like you say, quoted figures are often optimistic, in this case 2,150 converts to 2,050. Not much on the scale of things, but, having a realistic assessment of your destination saves needless searching.

Zimbabwe trip next month, I have a way to go before I'm a month out from my first Buffalo shoot, but, sounds like you have the gun and loads straight. Are you going for the soft point for the first shot and solids there after?
